grill guy

so kevin's been grilling pretty much every night.

and it never gets old.

in fact, it gets more awesome each time.

i'm thinking about an indoor grill for his bday (hello boston winter!)

because the best part is, he loves it as much as i do.

lamb kebabs {bottom right} from everyday food magazine

1 lb boneless lamb (i bought 3 lamb chops and had the butcher de-bone and cut them into 1-inch pieces... awesome)

2 tsp fresh lemon zest

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 pint grape tomatoes

bunch of fresh mint leaves

s+p

heat grill or grill pan to medium-high.

in a large bowl, combine the lamb, lemon zest and spices. season with s+p and toss to coat.

thread the lamb, tomatoes and mint onto 4 skewers.

grill kebabs, covered, 7-8 minutes for medium, turning occasionally.

serve with lemon wedges and grilled naan!

(i added some baby potatoes too -just boil them a few minutes first)

1 cup cilantro leaves

1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

1/4 cup white onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 3/4 cups water

in a blender, combine all ingredients except the rice and blend til smooth.

season with s+p.

in a medium pot, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium -high heat. add the rice and stir to coat.

add herb mixture and bring to a boil.

reduce to a simmer, cover and cook about 15 minutes.

remove pan from heat and let sit , covered 5 more minutes.

add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and fluff with a fork.
